Green Campus

Catawba College has taken multiple steps to make the campus more environmentally friendly. In 2004, students in
the environmental club, NatureSAFE, revived campus recycling. Later, students in the
Environmental Program launched a Campus Greening Initiative that spawned energy and
water-efficient measures as well as improvements in waste reduction. The college has
ramped up efforts even further in the past three years. In 2007, the Office of Waste Reduction and Recycling was established within the facilities department to champion waste reduction and recycling efforts.
